Good HEAVENS! {sm3}

That has to be one of the most impressive, GRAND Scale production I have seen. You have surpassed your previous endeavors, from the looks of this.

Your collection is amazing; not only the figures but all the diorama material. That fortified German strong point is truly a centerpiece of this setting.
BUT .. admire all the buildings, ground cover mats, bunkers, vehicles, trees, shrubs and MORE.

Have you been working on this since we got back from Hackensack last year?

How many figures are on the diorama?

What a great way to spend a spring/summer day {sm4}

Thanks Larry, I appreciate the comments.

I've been collecting 20mm WWII the longest, about 22 years, so needless to say I've accumulated a lot of "stuff" in that time. I either order it online or buy it at the wargaming shows I've attended over the years. I either buy it ready painted or do it myself.

This display has about 300 or so figures; late war American infantry, late war German infantry and German airborne as well.

Your setups are always spectacular. You can do more with smaller scales than the big ones, and it's probably more fun to set up.

Well, I was looking at all those nice square mats pushed together and I thought, “Gee, that looks like the German countryside I just flew over 3 hours ago!”

Like the setups George. And I think I just flew over Hurtgen on my way into Frankfurt.

72 hours ago I got a great view of Normandy from 30,000 feet. I was a little closer to Hurtgen, I believe.
